Why do i get a increased battery discharge message on bmw 2012
1. If you have a sound battery (and you may not) most likely the alternator is providing insufficient charge to the electrical system in the vehicle when driving and the demands of the system are drawing power from the battery.
2. The battery itself may also be weak and need to be replaced. A weak battery will frequently generate system warnings of various kinds. If it is the original battery still in the 2012 car then as a first step replace the battery with a new one as they can easily begin to fail at 3 years.
The electrical systems on these cars are extremely complex and if you still get the warning message after the battery is replaced then take it to BMW service and have them check the car over. Yes I know that is expensive but that goes with buying that particular brand of car. When you have problems in future with these cars, and you will, they will inevitably be quite expensive to fix in many cases and require specialist knowledge.

2008 BMW 328Xi. What is wrong with my car?
Sometimes disconnecting the battery can be an advantage, but sometimes it is the worst thing. Your vehicle is very complex computer-wise and now it has resets and relearning to do. Having said that, you have some underlying issue. You need an auto electrician with a professional grade scan tool computer to diagnose what it wrong. My guess is an ABS sensor error if by 'locked' you mean brake locked..

How can I get the HDC to turn off in my 2002 bmw x5?
To turn off HDC on a BMW, all you have to do is press the HDC button located on the center console. The button will have an image of a vehicle going downhill with a speedometer above it, and you'll know it's off if there are no lights illuminated above it. If you ever want to turn the system on again, just press the button again.
